Questions & Answers about Αν συνεχίσω έτσι, θα δω μεγάλη αύξηση στο επίπεδο της γλώσσας μου.

Why is it αν συνεχίσω and not αν συνεχίζω?

Greek uses αν + aorist subjunctive to talk about a future condition that is seen as one whole action, not as an ongoing process.

• συνεχίσω is the aorist subjunctive (να συνεχίσω, αν συνεχίσω).
• συνεχίζω is the present (or present subjunctive with να/ας).

In a sentence like this, you’re not describing the ongoing process itself; you’re setting a condition for a future result:

• Αν συνεχίσω έτσι… = If I carry on like this (from now on, overall)…

Αν συνεχίζω έτσι is grammatically possible but sounds more like:

• If (while) I am continuing like this (at that time)…
  It’s less natural here, because we want a general condition, not a description of what will be happening at a specific time.

Why does the if-clause in Greek use this form (αν συνεχίσω) instead of a future tense, like English “if I will continue”?

English uses a present tense in the if-clause (if I continue), but learners sometimes think of it as future.

Greek pattern:

• αν
  • subjunctive (here: συνεχίσω) for the if/when part.
• θα
  • verb for the result.

So we get:

• Αν συνεχίσω έτσι, θα δω…
  = If I continue like this, I’ll see…

Using a future in the if-clause, like αν θα συνεχίσω, is wrong in Standard Modern Greek. The future marker θα belongs in the result clause, not in the αν-clause.
